Chapter 146 This Is What I Stole From Your Senior Brothers (Please Subscribe)
Facts speak louder than words!
As the jade pipa fell to the ground and shattered, the onlookers immediately realized that they had wronged Jiang Ziya. This fortune-teller was really capable!
"It turned out to be a demon. We thought..."
"I'm sorry, old immortal! We wronged you. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with us mortals."
"Thank you, old immortal, for saving us. We were almost deceived by the demon."
"..."
Some of the onlookers apologized in shame, some bowed to thank him, and the big men who had just roughed up Jiang Ziya knelt down to admit their mistakes, as if they were afraid that Jiang Ziya would punish them.
For the "immortals", the people were in awe.
Jiang Ziya stood up awkwardly and reached out to brush off the dust on his clothes. Although he did have some skills, he was still a long way from the "immortal" realm mentioned by the people.
He was really overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of these people, so he had to wave his hands repeatedly, indicating that he just accidentally discovered the trace of the evildoer.
"Everyone, no need to be polite, I just noticed that the evildoer turned into a human form, but I was not the one who eliminated this evildoer."
In the praise of the crowd, Jiang Ziya tried his best to maintain a gentle smile.
Although he kept explaining that he did not eliminate the monster, he was still regarded as a god who came to the world to eliminate demons and monsters by the people!
This is also because he has a strange appearance and a thin body. Although his hair and beard are all white, his face is ruddy and he rarely frowns on his face. He looks like an immortal.
No wonder the people regard him as an old immortal.
As a real "immortal", Yang Ling was also the one who punished the Jade Pipa Fairy personally, but he did not attract much attention.
Of course, this is also because he took the initiative to use the upright shadowless technique to conceal his breath and reduce his presence.
Seeing that Jiang Ziya was a little tired of resisting the enthusiasm of the people, Yang Ling smiled and said, "Brother Ziya, why don't you go to my clinic and have a cup of tea?"
When Jiang Ziya heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He was worried about how to get away, and now he had this excuse, which was naturally what he wanted.
He nodded and agreed quickly. He didn't care about the simple fortune-telling stall at the moment.
"Thank you, brother. Thank you."
Jiang Ziya hurriedly followed Yang Ling and left in the direction of the clinic.
Seeing this, the people stopped pestering and dispersed, but their topic still revolved around the thrilling scene just now.
It can be imagined that after today, there will be another strange story in Chaoge City.
...
After arriving at the clinic, Yang Ling led Jiang Ziya through the front hall and walked into a quiet room at the innermost.
This is where Yang Ling usually stays when he comes to the clinic. It is used to treat difficult patients. The layout is simple and elegant, and the air is filled with a faint smell of medicine.
Yang Ling first sat down at the main seat at the top, then pointed to the futon opposite the desk, and signaled Jiang Ziya to sit down.
After Jiang Ziya sat down, a maid walked in lightly, holding an exquisite tea tray in her hand, on which were two porcelain white tea cups and a small teapot.
The tea was ordinary tea, not the spiritual tea that people who practice immortality often drink. It did not help people practice and increase their magic power.
However, it was rich in taste and fragrant, and it was also a rare good tea.
After the maid finished pouring the tea and bowed and left, Jiang Ziya stood up and bowed solemnly, "If it weren't for my senior brother's help today, I'm afraid I would have been hurt by that evildoer.
Ziya would like to thank my senior brother for his help."
Yang Ling heard him call him senior brother, which was obviously a gesture of goodwill, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Junior brother Ziya, you and I are both from the Xuanmen, and helping each other is our duty, so why be so polite.
Besides, since I saw that evildoer, I can't just stand by and watch and ignore it."
Jiang Ziya smiled and said: "It seems that Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi is right. Senior Brother is really a person who hates evil and is bold and straightforward."
"I can't say I hate evil."
As Yang Ling spoke, he picked up the teacup and motioned Jiang Ziya to drink tea.
"But I was born in the human race, so I can't bear to see those evildoers persecuting my people."
Jiang Ziya's heart was slightly moved when he heard this.
During the forty years he practiced Taoism in Kunlun, he was a little worried about his human race.
Because when he was in Kunlun Mountain, few of the immortals he saw were born in the human race.
Not to mention anything else, among the twelve golden immortals that are almost equivalent to the business card of the Chan Sect, none of them was born in the human race.
As acquired creatures, the human race is not outstanding in talent.
In the Chan Sect before, there was not even a human disciple!
Now, all the human disciples in the Chan Sect, including Jiang Ziya, were accepted as disciples in the past hundred years.
Jiang Ziya once asked this question out of curiosity. He asked the Nanji Xianweng, the first disciple of the Chan Sect with profound Taoism.
However, this senior brother, who always answered questions, did not answer this question. He just smiled mysteriously and said: You will know in the future.
Now Jiang Ziya has gone down the mountain.
He also roughly understood the answer to this question.
Everything is for the Conferred God!
The reason why the Chan Sect has frequently recruited disciples in the past hundred years, even the Twelve Golden Immortals have gone everywhere to recruit disciples...
All of this is to prepare in advance for the Conferred God Tribulation!
In a sense, the newly recruited disciples are just chess pieces used to deal with disasters, and they may be abandoned one day.
He, Jiang Ziya, is just a chess piece!
This is why he can worship Yuqing Saint as his teacher even though he has average talent and has achieved almost nothing in forty years of cultivation!
He is the most important chess piece!
It is precisely because he has figured this out that Jiang Ziya is unwilling to follow the path planned for him by Yuanshi Tianzun.
Yun Zhongzi's comfort and encouragement just gave him courage.
He decided to practice in the world!
Since he has been away from the world for forty years and he has not been able to cultivate the immortal way, then he will change his mind. This time he will go deep into the world and cultivate a mortal immortal!
Yang Ling, who is sitting in front of him, is a master who practices in the mortal world!
Jiang Ziya knows that this is a rare opportunity.
Jiang Ziya gently put down the teacup in his hand, with a trace of determination in his eyes. He took a deep breath, stood up and bowed to Yang Ling, and said sincerely: "When I went down the mountain this time, I still had some thoughts of continuing to practice in the mortal world.
It's just that the turbid air in the mortal world is full of entanglements of cause and effect, which disturbed me deeply and made it difficult to calm down... Senior brother has a profound practice, I wonder if you can teach me?"
Yang Ling was slightly stunned, thinking that I was just worrying about how to get closer to you, but you came to me on your own.
Yang Ling has always valued Jiang Ziya, who can deify the gods on behalf of the heaven.
Otherwise, he would not have come to Chaoge so early, and specially bought the yard next door, just to wait for Jiang Ziya to come.
Now that the other party took the initiative to show goodwill and asked him for guidance in practice, Yang Ling naturally had no reason to refuse.
He put down the teacup and laughed loudly: "Junior Brother Ziya, it is a good thing that you have such a heart. The most important thing in the world of cultivation is the heart of Tao!
First of all, you must experience the various aspects of life and understand the joys and sorrows of the world...
How about this, you follow me to get in touch with all kinds of people in the next few days and exercise your heart of Tao."
Hearing that Yang Ling readily agreed and wanted to bring him around to teach him personally, Jiang Ziya's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise.
He hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully: "Then Ziya thanks you, senior brother."
In the following days, Jiang Ziya's life soon entered a new rhythm.
He followed Yang Ling every day, from various shops to medical clinics and charity halls, and saw all kinds of people and things.
Sometimes busy, sometimes idle.
After a period of time, Jiang Ziya found that his Taoism did not improve much, but became more and more like a person!
Jiang Ziya didn't know whether this was good or bad.
However, he found that Yang Ling's business was very big. Not only did he have many shops in Chaoge, but he was also a well-known wealthy businessman in the southeast of Dashang.
Although his business was big, he did not pursue profits too much.
Almost most of the profits were invested in medical clinics and charity halls in various places. These medical clinics and charity halls consumed a lot of money every day and also caused a lot of trouble.
Jiang Ziya couldn't help but be a little curious, and didn't understand why Yang Ling spent so much energy to open medical clinics and charity halls.
One day, when the two were drinking tea in the backyard of the clinic, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but ask his doubts: "I think the expenses of this clinic and charity hall are too high, and there are many troubles. I really don't understand why Senior Brother wants to maintain it?
Is Senior Brother trying to earn merits through this?"
Hearing this, Yang Ling put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Ziya, you ask this question, which shows that you have not fully integrated into the world.
In this world, there is no need for a reason to do good, and there is no need to always think about merits. The reason why a person does good may be just because of a moment of pity, or it may be to atone for sins...
In short, there are many reasons to do good, and the reason why I set up the clinic and charity hall is also very simple... I have earned too much wealth."
Jiang Ziya: "..."
Although this sounded a bit unpleasant, he knew it was all true.
At first, he thought that the money Yang Ling used for charity came from the immortal method. Later, when he personally came into contact with the Yang family business that was spread all over Da Shang, he was surprised to find that this senior brother of the human sect actually started from scratch and grew up little by little to the extent of being rich enough to rival a country!
And this only took more than ten years.
Look at himself, he can only rely on the help of his childhood friends to survive for several months after going down the mountain. If he relies on himself to tell fortunes for people, he often can't make a penny for many days in a row.
He also tried to do some small business at the suggestion of his friends, but it didn't take long for him to lose everything.
In comparison, the difference is not a little bit.
"Money is just a bunch of numbers if it is not spent, so doing good is a way for me to spend money... As for you asking me if I am doing it to earn merit?"
Yang Ling looked at Jiang Ziya and nodded slightly, "To be honest, I do have this idea."
His mind moved slightly, and immediately a cloud of merit appeared, floating in the sky above his head.
"See, merit is a good thing. When there are enough, it can be condensed into a cloud of celebration, which can be used to protect oneself and boost luck."
Jiang Ziya's eyes flashed with envy, "I have only seen Brother Yu Ding's cloud of celebration before. That cloud of celebration is colorful and makes people yearn for it."
Yang Ling listened to Jiang Ziya's words, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. His eyes revealed a hint of amusement: "Junior Brother Ziya, the Qingyun you see now is actually part of what I stole from your Senior Brother Yuding."
"What?!"
Jiang Ziya's eyes widened when he heard it, and he said in disbelief: "You stole Senior Brother Yuding's Merit Qingyun?"
"Not only that..." Yang Ling pointed at the Qingyun above his head casually and said: "The remaining Merit Qingyun came from your Senior Brother Wenshu."
"And Senior Brother Wenshu?"
This time, Jiang Ziya was completely stunned.
